Locked Up by My Mad Dog

After an untimely death, a woman awakens to find herself reincarnated as Elizabeth, a character from a dark fantasy novel. To her astonishment, she has inherited the life of a noblewoman destined to marry the empire’s crown prince. Convinced that she has stumbled into a remarkably fortunate second chance, she prepares to enjoy a future of comfort and privilege. However, the idyllic path she envisioned quickly fractures as the hidden sins of the original Elizabeth begin to surface, threatening to drag her into the very darkness she hoped to avoid. Among these buried secrets is the existence of an enslaved man whom the former Elizabeth kept bound to her as a personal possession, cruelly referring to him as her “dog.” Driven by a modern conscience and a desire to right past wrongs, the new Elizabeth resolves to grant him his freedom. Yet this seemingly compassionate decision proves far more dangerous than she anticipates. By choosing to release him, she inadvertently pulls at a fragile thread woven deep into the empire's shadows, unraveling a tangled web of mysteries and consequences that will upend everything she thought she knew about her new world.
